There is a tree in my front yard that blossomed about a month ago - it looked like it was frosted with snow white coconut. Whatever it was smelled divine! When sitting on the porch, as I do often - in awe i’m so lucky to get to live here, sometimes the wind would shift and the air would be filled with that perfumed scent. It was heavenly.

Magnolia trees blooming here in Texas as well. They do smell divine, but all this rain is the devil’s work on their beautiful blossoms.

As the Chat feature is never used, ‘don’t know nothing about chatting’ (stated with the thought of Prissy in Gone With The Wind). Basically when Goggle is used the sites come up and I go there. Once there a feast is laid before the eyes with so much information it’s down the rabbit hole for a few hours. Seriously, don’t go to Twitter, Facebook, or any other social active site to chat. Much prefer message boards such as this. Hope you don’t mind my asking (and if you do there is no need to answer), but from where did you relocate and move to the South? And once here, have you had difficulty in understanding the ‘Southern Speak’? Worked in an office of transferred New Yorkers for years. LOL remember once a salesman was speaking of a motel/hotel and kept calling it HO-JO. Finally, I just had to ask just what was he talking about. Well, silly me....it was Howard Johnsons. NOW that one was a very familiar name. Over time it all worked out and we were able to speak the same language. So happy you like this part of our country and wish you the best in good neighbors, safe travel and bright skies...we just had another ??inches plus here in north Texas last night. Rain is wonderful but sunny skies now and then would be a blessing. BTW...This time of year it is not uncommon for normal temps to be 90 degrees. If this weather is an indication of Global Warming then I’m a monkey’s uncle, aunt, cousin, whatever. I’ve actually had to wear a jacket when going outdoors.

Are the blooms gone now? Did it bloom before leafing out or bloom with leaves on it? Did you take a picture?
